Neither easy nor difficult to read. E-text prepared by Clare Graham and Laura McDonald (http://www.girlebooks.com) "The Secret of Charlotte Brontë" by Frederika Macdonald is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book explores the life and inner experiences of renowned author Charlotte Brontë, focusing on a pivotal period during her stay in Brussels and her relationship with her professor, Monsieur Heger, whose influence is believed to have shaped her literary genius. At the start of this work, the author discusses the flawed critical interpretations that have shaped Charlotte Brontë's legacy, particularly emphasizing her relationship with Monsieur Heger, which has often been misunderstood due to the influence of biographer Mrs. Gaskell. Macdonald critiques the psychological methods used to analyze Brontë's life and literary output, arguing for a more historically accurate understanding of her emotions and experiences, especially during her formative years in Brussels. The opening establishes the groundwork for exploring Brontë's deep passions and the personal struggles that informed her work, setting the stage for the letters that reveal her true feelings and the 'secret' that lies at the heart of her creative expression.
